Last night’s Monday Night Football game (Chiefs/Steelers) was simulcast on the ABC affiliates in Kansas City and Pittsburgh. As a result, the ABC numbers may be inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.

NBC was number one with adults 18-49, while ABC won with total viewers.

On CBS, How I Met Your Mother earned a 3.0 among adults 18-49, up 7% from last week's 2.8. Partners garnered a series-low1.8 adults 18-49 rating down 14% from last week's 2.1.2 Broke Girls scored a 3.2 among adults 18-49, even with last week. Mike & Molly earned a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating, up 7% from last week's 2.8. Hawaii Five-O notched a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating, matching last week’s performance.

On ABC, Dancing with the Starsscored a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating, up 5% from last week's 2.1. Castleearned a 2.1, up 11% from last week's 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. However, football preemptions may have impacted these numbers.

On FOX, Bonesscored a 1.9 among adults 18-49, down 5% from last week's 2.0. The Mob Doctor garnered a 0.9, down 10% from last week's 1.0 adults 18-49 rating.

On the CW, 90210 earned a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating, up 50% from last week's 0.4. Gossip Girl scored a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating, up 33% from last week's 0.3.

Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

the only wonderful thing is that we were spared more than one season of them. (though I must admit, that is not really fair to Flash Forward. That show was on a completely different level than the other two)

Dear Cancellation Bear,

I’m about to hibernate for the winter. Why don’t you hibernate? What kind of bear are you?

Your fan,
Revolution

P.S. Please do not eat me while I sleep.

I really don’t understand why some keep blaming the hiatus for the cancellations of Flash Forward, V, & The Event when all 3 were declining before they went on break and didn’t return much worse from where they originally left off. They just kept bleeding after they came back. I hardly fault the break as I would the quality of the shows.

Cee

Yay for 90210!!

Castle and H50 are not gonna drop in the finals. Their half hour ratings are 2.1/2.0 for both.

YOU CANNOT PREDICT ADJUSTMENTS UP OR DOWN USING HALF HOUR DATA. Besides even if you could, doesn’t that mean Castle has a chance of adjusting down? It’s already more than likely to adjust down from MNF pre-emptions.

@rob60990

That’s exactly what i’ve been trying to say – Flashforward’s final episode before the hiatus got a 2.1, after the 3 month hiatus it got a 1.9. Already declining!

Revolution is easy to follow. Won’t be difficult for NBC to bring back some viewers and add new ones when the show comes back from the hiatus with a lot of promotion. It’s more an adventure show than a mystery show. Revolution seems to be like the initial seasons of Supernatural, the other show created by Eric Kripke: one adventure per episode with a simple (but very interesting) mystery that is developed through the season. I don’t think this show will fail.

I’m so sick of the hate on Partners! It’s a good show!!! Yay for 90210! Season 5 is so much better than last season!

No worries about RVN hiatus. The walking Dead has a long hiatus too. The voice will come back strong and RVN with it.
CBS should move h50 to Sundays ASAP and put The Mentalist on Mondays. The show got a 1.9 demo last Sundaynwith a weak lead in and the delays.
H50 has been hurting CBS Momdays since it premiered because it failed to maintain CSI Miami numbers. Now with Partners and RVN, it is more obvious. Move it to Sundays !

The science fiction/fantasy genre rarely, if ever, flourishes for more than one season on any network other than the CW (which has the lowest ratings expectations of any network). Ever since LOST, there have been no other shows with any long term traction (and even LOST started losing audience toward the end of its run). I think prospects for a Grimm third season are probably not very high (even though it does well by NBC standards and the relative ratings for Fridays)just based on the track record of fantasy shows.

My personal opinion of Revolution is that it is a marginal show but I would still like to see it succeed. At what point will the networks just stop trying out new science fiction/fantasy shows when so many fail? Perhaps a compromise is the mini-series format of 13 or so episodes with a series resolution. In hindsight, NBC might have been better served with The Event in mini-series format. Likewise, CBS with Jericho and ABC with Invasion, Flash Forward and V all in mini-series formats and with final resolutions might have been better choices. Revolution seems like it would also make an appropriate mini-series.

I´ve been reading some coments, and saw some of the posts saying something about a show being in syndication is more unlikely to be cancelled… Not being american, I´m not familiar with the meaning… Does it work like that? If so, knowing that Castle is in syndication too, does that mean it has more chances to be renewed? I´d love it, as I´m a huge fan:)

The Olympic sized voice boost has finally ended . Nice.

CrimTV

@WoWza, it was down just two tenths from last week

Leoben Conoy

@HalCapone

Yea, you would be wrong about Grimm. It certainly will be getting a 3rd season. It is one of NBC’s best performers. And that’s based on the shows own merits. Not from having the best lead-in a show could possible have this year.

Revolution is already killing itself. Every episode is a variation of the same thing… someone needs to be rescued, so they make a plan and rescue them. The plot is barely developing at all. I’ve stuck with it from the beginning hoping that something will move the story along, but its the same old same old every week. No wonder its losing viewers, especially now that everyone knows its going to be on hiatus for an extended time. No one will care when it comes back.

I hate all reality shows, and that includes The Voice. But in no way is 4.3 at all a disappointment. NBC is probably thanking the TV gods it has SOMETHING that can consistently perform over a 2.0, and that is even generous for NBC which, with the exception of The Voice and football, has shows in the mid 1s and a smattering of above 2s.

The Must-See TV glory era is long behind it, so I’m sure NBC still sees that 4.3 as a major victory for any night.

How much longer is CBS going to let “Partners” drag down the night. TBBT repeats would do better as would Rules of Engagement
